I am a sweet and happy dog. I was very underweight when I arrived at the shelter, but everyone is taking good care of me and I am enjoying tasty foods as I gain some weight. I also have heartworms and OCAS can let you know more about my treatment if you are interested in me. In North Carolina, it's unfortunately common to see many dogs that are infected with heartworms (they are transmitted by mosquito bites). Heartworm disease may cause severe lung disease, heart failure, or other organ damage in dogs. It's usually fatal if left untreated. Heartworm treatment is costly. With your support, OCAS can help more dogs with this disease - resulting in healthier dogs that are even more likely to get adopted. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign .
